Of course.

Don't you trust me?

[truth field!]

[axingnicely]

I do not.

[ but she would admit that regardless of truth field so she doesn't immediately realize it's in play ]

Trust is something that needs to be earned, Your Name. Helping here is a good start, I think.

[debug_mode]

[she'll turn off that truth field]

I take offense to that. Would you default to not trusting me if I were one of you sheep?

Then, you'll let me find the coin. Or hand it over to me if you manage to find it first.

It'll look much better for me if I turn over the coin than you, right?

[axingnicely]

Personally? Yes. Flock or Weed does not impact my feelings. In fact, I do think it's rather unfair how quickly people are to judge Weeds. But it's the individual's actions that determine my feelings.

[ and she's also just not a trusting person ]

Or we can do it together.

[debug_mode]

Search or turn it over? If we turn it over together, it'll just look like you were "keeping me honest."

[she yawns]

Anyway... Daffodil's shepherd... well, he's not pleased with me. But that has nothing to do with Tyr and Crois. I have nothing against them. So, why wouldn't I give it to them? For the sake of being mean? That's not very nice.

[axingnicely]

Search... I think we're getting a little ahead of ourselves... [ since they haven't actually found anything ]

But if you're concerned they'll think badly of you for this, I can vouch for you.

[debug_mode]

That's an interesting middle ground. All right. I accept.

[axingnicely]

In the end, as long as the coins are found, I think Daffodil will be satisfied.

[ but she smiles! ]

Very well. I've, ah, been searching for those sheep.... they are rather evasive when they want to be.

[debug_mode]

So, search or them in a way that makes them not want to be.

Ehehe.

[axingnicely]

Lure them in, perhaps? Food is usually a good motivator for them.

[debug_mode]

And waste food?

[axingnicely]

There are plenty of greens in the cafeteria... they are quite unpopular.

[ give them the leftover arugula ]

[debug_mode]

I'd say we could pick out the stuff that's wilting, but that sound like too much work.

[axingnicely]

Other than food, what do you think would pique their attention?

[ (pda, clearly) ]

[debug_mode]

Maybe we can box them in between us and the river itself!

[axingnicely]

I think that's a good idea. We could come at them from different angles... herding, perhaps.

[ hee hee ]

[debug_mode]

Exactly. Let's not startle them too much, though. Careful herding.

[axingnicely]

Shall we split up now?

[ operation gentle sheep herding ]

[debug_mode]

Let's put this plan into action!

[axingnicely]

[ sheep spotted in the distance!! ]

What side would you like?

[debug_mode]

The side from behind... do you have a weapon?

[axingnicely]

I do.

I'm only planning on using it for show, however.

[debug_mode]

Of course we're not going to hurt the sheep! Just wave it around to corral it, a little.

[axingnicely]

Yes, that does sound like a good plan.

Shall we?

[debug_mode]

Yes! I'll just slide around a little bit...

[she sidles to try to move it in. Not startle it. Get it in a position they can both be ready to pounce.]
